Day1 top of foot hurt to sit in kneeling position, foot pointed.
Day2 walking along normally, got in car, got out of car, sudden agony and couldnt use right foot. Looked at it. Swollen up like house.
Went to doc appointment, saw paramedic who said not a clue as both sides swollen. Pressed back of calf muscle which also hurt. Told me to ice it, put up, not drive. Xray in couple days if not better. Didnt really hurt to touch but agony to point toes.
Day3 went to work by train, limped very slowly. Bloody hurt.
Day4 getting better. Was then the weekend so didnt think going for xray necessary.
Day5 mostly fine
One week later, pain around ankle like something out of place. Swollen up like house again. See pic.
I would just put it up and ice for couple of days but, my mum had very similar happen to her years ago, turned out to be undiagnosed fracture which healed very awkwardly so she's keen for me to go for xray. Never having had one before, do they show ligaments not just bones? Should I, since no-one knows what it is? Anyone had similar?
Gross swollen pic for you...
